Question

Block 1 (m1 = 6 kg) is resting on top of block 2 (m2 = 8 kg) on the surface of a table. A rope pulls vertically up on block 1 with force 4 N.
On a sheet of paper, draw the free body diagrams for block 1 and block 2 using the two-subscript notation from class. After completing the free body diagrams, enter below each force and its x & y-components. (use g = 10 m/s2).
Remember that the x-component is the "i" component and the y-component is the "j" component.

FORCES on BLOCK 1
Weight force on block 1 by Earth
W1E =  i +  j N

  Tries 0/2  


Tension force on block 1 by Rope
T1R =  i +  j N

  Tries 0/2  


Normal force on block 1 by block 2
N12 =  i +  j N

  Tries 0/2  



FORCES on BLOCK 2
Weight force on block 2 by Earth
W2E =  i +  j N

  Tries 0/2  


Normal force on block 2 by block 1
N21 =  i +  j N

  Tries 0/2  


Normal force on block 2 by Surface
N2S =  i +  j N
